Abstract
In this final chapter, we discuss the theoretical and ideological background of Eurasian integration. Here, we highlight the specific nature of Eurasian integration and develop the theoretical concept of holding-together integration that applies best in this case. A comparative analysis of the EAEU with other large regional integration organizations follows. Then we discuss various policy proposals based on the international experience of regional integration organizations across the world.

Laruelle (2008). The compelling merits of this analysis include understanding the limited influence of “neo-Eurasians” (such as A. Dugin and A . Panarin) on the real political process, a critical but thoughtful approach to the analysis of L . Gumilev’s ideas, as well as a detailed account of the specifics of Eurasianism outside of Russia, especially in Kazakhstan and Turkey.
